Industrial Revolution of the Mage Lords

Chapter 345 Resurrection Experiment
After nearly a month and a half, Harvey finally completed the casting and assembly of the alchemical prosthesis to transfer and accommodate Patriarch Lambert with the help of two "Mirror Men" from the Alchemical Exploration Society.

Normally, if it was a normal experiment to transfer the souls of the dying or the living, there would be no need to wait so long, nor would there be the need to waste energy on making a customized alchemical container.

But Chief Lambert's situation is rather special - based on the problems that Harvey and the Inner Demon accurately perceived when they were extracting each other's soul and life essence respectively... it seems that Chief Lambert was permanently solidified in the transformation state of a half-lich when he fell into the slumber caused by the failed ritual.

This is also the main reason why Harvey insisted on bringing the other party's soul imprint back to the wasteland territory for transfer. If the alchemical prosthesis was teleported to the islands and reefs in the dark sea too hastily and the transfer experiment was carried out in the usual way, the other party's fragile soul imprint would probably be directly shattered and completely destroyed.

In accordance with the promise, Harvey invited Sirius, the elder of the Lambert family, and Prall, the councilor of the Necromancer, to his laboratory in the basement of the castle while performing the soul transfer. Of course... Ash, the only son of the Lambert patriarch, had to be present as well.

"Your Excellency, the clan leader...will the problems he encountered due to the failed ritual affect the upcoming transfer experiment?"

Harvey shook his head and analyzed carefully, "I've already considered this issue. The rune prosthesis personally refined by the Exploration Society's Chief Alchemist is engraved with a triple-solidified mental power matrix. This can basically guarantee the maximum possible healing of Patriarch Lambert's damaged mental power and soul imprint."

He paused, picked up a delicate polyhedron metal core from the lab table, and patiently explained, "This is a magic frequency synchronizer tuned by the Archdruid of the Golden Forest. It's used to neutralize the problem of damaged soul imprints being unable to withstand high-frequency magic power transmission for a short period of time after transfer."

Everything is ready. All that remains is for Harvey to seize the opportunity to transfer the soul into the special alchemical prosthesis and accurately integrate the life essence core given to him by Mr. Inner Demon into the soul imprint of Patriarch Lambert to activate his mind and humanity.

"Let's get started..." Harvey solemnly instructed everyone, "The entire transfer experiment process will be fully responsible by myself, Chris, and Asdaren. Everyone else, please remain quiet."

……

Arturo Lambert felt as if he had awakened from an extremely long dream.

The whole person seemed to have just been fished out of the deep sea. Apart from the gradually clearer perception and thinking, the body did not give any proper feedback.

His vision was blurry, and he tried to speak something, but found that the familiar words seemed to only echo in his mind and could not be transmitted to the outside world at all.

Someone seemed to have suddenly severed the connection, and Arturo felt himself rising rapidly...

Wow!

The soul finally floated to the surface!
When I opened my eyes, what caught my eye was a group of dazzling, almost blindingly bright magic stones, neatly and densely embedded in the ceiling of a building.

Arturo narrowed his eyes subconsciously, but his body was still unconscious.

"Father……"

"Speaker! Speaker!"

"Clan leader?"

Countless calling sounds poured into his ears layer by layer, causing him to feel a strange and uncomfortable feeling of slight tingling in his brain.

Faintly, it felt like someone had cut off some connection again.

It was magic. Someone had severed the magic connection he had maintained with the magic web since he learned to meditate... But he was powerless to stop it at the moment. He could only "watch helplessly" as all the magic in his body poured out and then gradually dried up. An unprecedented thirst and loss almost made him lose his mind.

Someone gently pressed on his shoulder, and it took Arturo a long time to recover before he suddenly realized that he had regained some consciousness, but had become quite dull.

He tried to speak again.

"I...what's wrong with me?"

Sirius and Prair looked at each other, overjoyed but hesitant to rush to the laboratory table. They still remembered Harvey's order not to approach without permission.

Ash didn't care about that anymore. He walked forward on his own, lowered his head and asked in a trembling voice, "Father, how do you feel now?"

Arturo turned his head with difficulty, looked at Ash in confusion, hummed lightly, and turned his head away again.

A look of disappointment suddenly appeared on Ash's face, which made Harvey sigh in his heart - Mr. Inner Demon really took away some of the desires of Patriarch Lambert.

"The transformation ritual... must have failed, right?" Arturo asked dejectedly. "What methods did you use to keep me alive?"

According to his understanding of the lich transformation ritual, he should fall into an irreversible sleep immediately after the ritual fails. Then, within three to five days, his body will decay and disintegrate uncontrollably under the influence of the ritual array, and his soul and mental power will be completely shattered.

After getting Harvey's nod of approval, Sirius and Prall stepped forward and said shamefacedly, "Chief, the ritual did fail. The incomplete ritual that was forcibly completed, and the blood of the divine creature that could not be replaced with other materials, are all the reasons for our failure..."

"But... but fortunately, we have Mr. Harvey. He helped us extract your damaged soul imprint and transferred it intact into a new artificial body."

Arturo felt a buzzing sound in his head when he heard this, and then he subconsciously raised his head slightly to look at his body.

The iron-cast breastplate is engraved with countless complex and obscure magic runes, and the limbs and torso are forged from a large amount of expensive and rare enchanted metals. In the energy pipelines hidden within the outer armor, one can clearly feel the gentle and majestic magic power slowly surging.

Artificial body? Alchemical creation!

"I... I was actually refined into an alchemical soul creature? Why... why do I still have consciousness and autonomy?" Arturo was horrified. In the dark eye sockets on the metal head, the golden soul fire flickered.

Harvey then stepped forward and put his hand on the other person's shoulder, injecting his powerful mental power into his body again, and using the strange connection created by the mental anchor to quickly calm the other person's emotions.

All soul creations guided and transferred by Harvey himself, such as Asdalen and Reiner, will inexplicably produce a certain connection effect with Harvey's spiritual anchor, similar to perceptual affinity and frequency resonance.

The soul fire in Arturo's eyes gradually calmed down, and his emotions also stabilized. However, he still murmured in disbelief, "This is simply... simply incredible..."

He opened his mouth and subconsciously let out a sigh with a metallic friction sound like a normal human being.

"So... the immortality of the soul that we have always pursued is actually achieved in this way?"
